Not to reveal myself as too much of a nerd and risk annoying you for correcting you, but the holocaust cloak came from Miracle Max's, if you're going by the movie, and the swamp where Fezzik had to find incredients for the miracle pill, if you're going by the book.

One day, on another cake website, a decorator was lookiing for ideas for a cake. IT was to be Star Wars themed birthday. She wanted to write "Star Date" and the birthday on it. I quickly jumped in with "No, no. One is Star Trek and one is Star Wars! Don't cross teh streams!"

Thankfully, there was someone on the website who actually GOT the Ghost Busters reference. That said, I heartily applaud your post today!

OMG!! Jen, only you could manage to mash up Star Trek, Star Wars, Princess Bride, Ghostbusters AND GIJoe!!! AMAZING!!!! I am in total awe of your writing skills!!

That cake, however, is just blasphemy!! You don't ever, EVER mix Star Trek with Star Wars! Good GRIEF!! If they love 'em both, use two separate cakes, people! TWO SEPARATE CAKES!! DO NOT CROSS THE STREAMS!!!! AUGH!!!

That cake needs to be slimed, sliced up by a light saber and served to the Borg. Missed the GI Joe reference (saw the movie and was disappointed). I just may be watching the Princess Bride and Ghostbusters this weekend.

But I LOVE cake mash ups! It's such a challenge to see how many you can use and actually make sense. For my son's 7th birthday next week, I'm going to make a cave cake with a Horta and some Power Miners Legos. How can this POSSIBLY be wrong???

My boyfriend would get me this cake just to see me steam. I keep explaining to him that his obsessive knowledge of sports trivia and sport movie trivia is just as nerdy (geeky) as my love of the Science crossed with the Fiction but to no avail.

OutSTANDING! I now want to make this cake for the birthdays of every uber-geek I know, just to watch them hyperventilate!

And your mash-up of pop-culture references in the original post, just makes the whole thing that much more enjoyable, so thanks for making my day!

"As a duly designated representative of the United Federation of Planets, The Rebel Alliance and State of New York, I hereby order you to return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest parallel Fire Swamp dimension."

Oooh boy. Unless the person that got this cake loves both Trek and Star Wars I bet there was a tantrum thrown lol. Maybe the wreckerator couldn't remember the order and figured both would be a good idea just in case.

I ordered a cake from a bakery for the specific reason that they could take digital photos and print them onto cakes with edible ink - I SWEAR this was NOT my idea, I just got manipulated into ordering the thing because the fool throwing the party didn't know how to send photos. The whole concept seemed unappetizing and toxic to me!

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
